combo Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Slovenia - cool. Thanks for the broken link tip - it was working!!! Will have to investigate Is Prodibio a brand name for these trace element additions? Yes, http://www.prodibio.fr/ . Before that I have two failed attempts with zeo stuff, and one really poisonous chemical Biosona. I hope Prodibio is more failure-proof method.

Pegasus Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Hi again Combo, Spoke to the Admins about the split, but as you have not really gone into details about your tank or posted any pics on the site, it has been decided by the Admin that it would be better if you start off your own thread and allow this one to continue on topic. Look forward to your posts and pics Regards, Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reef Posted November 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 i have not seen here any links to sites or places you buy livestock in nz New Zealand is a small niche market for marines. We only have about 10 shops that supply marines and a few of those only have about 2 tanks to sell from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reeftec Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 chimera i love how you put it ""joe public" this hobby is so political ,doesnot matter where you from,you have to know your lfs guy or spend alot of moneyor both mostlikely where do you import livestock from reef (if you don't mind me asking) any corals from the surronding regin or is it all import? what is average price for a decent sps colony in nzl,here in canada small aquaculture colonies go for 60 $can(52$us) i find it that ,both livestock & drygoods are the cheapest here compare to any country i ever visited (germany,japan,us,dubai,...),i think because wholesale is quiet cheap here(north america)but in states there is a bigger market for it so its alot more expensive(retail price) there,but overall the quality of livestock is better in us than canada,whith japan being the best i ever seen (amazing corals,but very expensive) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combo Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 New Zealand is a small niche market for marines. We only have about 10 shops that supply marines and a few of those only have about 2 tanks to sell from. There's not much different in Europe. We have approximately 1 shop / 2 million people and approx. 1 reefkeeper / 50.000 people. Its only advantage that we can travel to the other nearby countries, like Austria or Germany. I'm also member of one Norwegian forum and there is no difference. I thought you in NZ have better shops, because you are closer to the coral seas. One year ago Slovenian reef keepers we were also together with freshwater community, but after we have separate forum, number of posts exploded to exactly 10.000 in one year.

Ira Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 I thought you in NZ have better shops, because you are closer to the coral seas. Doesn't matter if we're physically closer. Shipping is one of the cheapest and easiest parts when the government hates your hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combo Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Combo. i will respond in due course about prodibio , just a bit busy. I must remind you, because prodibio users are rare... :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted December 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 combo wrote Reef, how long are you using Prodibio and other related products? Did you or do you have any negative effects from that? Can be these products overdosed (RTN, STN)? Sorry for the last reply. i dose biodigest every two weeks and add reef booster weekly. I also add tunze zeolite. the prodibio seems to work well as my water looks clean and coral colours look ok the reef booster is great as the goniporas asre doing well and the acropora do open well when i feed it. I must remind you, because prodibio users are rare... also rare in NZ. but the reef booster (coral food) is quite popular. i note that you had stn when using zeovite, did you try it without the zeolite??

Fay Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 reef I think I know what RTN is, but don't know what STN is? I have been using these products too, but with no rocks (zeo stuff) Everything looks good! Haven't tested for a while doing a water change today so will test first.

lduncan Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 RTN -> rapid tissue necrosis, starts from the tips usually. STN -> slow tissue necrosis, usually seen as slow recession of the tissue from the base of the coral. really only relates to acros and a few sps.

Fay Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 I should add I have no unwanted algae now and heaps of coralline. It's hard to know if any of this is due to the product with me because I have done so many changes e.g. upgrade on tanks etc. But have no negatives to add Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
